You know what's funny?
Yep. That’s a thing. From Germany but very popular in Japan apparently

I do remember these from living in Germany!
This is the kind of thing I hope is not too unfamiliar for WDW guests to survive as it at least adds some variety and keeps things interesting. The new signage and presentation of the bakery also looks good!

I assume prep for a Food and Wine offering

I think it's supposed to be a unique offering, isn't it? The sign says it's one of the few baumkuchen rotisserie ovens in the United States and the idea behind the Connections motif is how food connects people, so a German cake that has been adapted in Japan seems like a nice example to highlight and offer for purchase.
Kind of puzzled at the reaction.
Isn't this the sort of thing we wanted at Epcot?

So confused by the reaction too. I think they’re doing a great job with Connections.

I agree. It's one of the only places in the country where you can get this and watch it being made! It's pretty cool.

I think it's a cool idea and very in line with Epcot. I'm only confused by the large focus on just this. If this was part of a series of 4 or 5 bakery items kinda like this (with cross-border appeal and history), it would be a huge identify and selling point for Connections. And maybe this is a test run for that.
In short, good idea - hope it goes bigger.

Looks similar to the chicken sandwich at Country Bear in Disneyland (which is delicious).

It was pretty good. I am guessing it was just temporary during the flower and garden festival.

One thing about connections I love is the openness of the kitchen area. Kids love watching what is going on behind the glass. May have to stop by after Hooligans play to try the new offering.
